Classic Fun

Been playing this game for 15 years and never get tired of the puzzles. It’s classic brain work and I love it. Never feels dull.

What’s with some if these words?

Overall I like the game for a time-filler when I’m waiting around for an appt or just a quick something to fill a few minutes. But why do you have so many words that are not really used in English but you don’t have obvious words like codon? There are quite a few medical or science terms that are common terms that could/should be included
